Leadership

Pastors, Staff, and Elders

Meet our pastors and staff.

Our pastors and staff are passionate about serving, leading, and equipping God’s people. Following Ephesians 4:11–12, our heart is to “equip the saints for the work of ministry” so that every believer can grow, serve, and make an eternal impact. We invite you to meet the team dedicated to helping you walk in your purpose and experience the fullness of new life in Christ.

Meet our Elders

At NewLife Church, we believe elders play a vital role in leading, shepherding, and safeguarding the church, just as outlined in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. Scripture teaches that elders are to be men of godly character—above reproach, spiritually mature, grounded in sound doctrine, and able to teach and guide others. Their calling is to care for the flock, protect the church from false teaching, model Christ-like leadership, and help oversee the mission and direction of the church. We have elders because God designed His church to flourish under faithful, qualified, and Spirit-led leadership.
